Health Care in Bolivia – Article on the Borgen Project

Thanks Morgan Harden for writing this article about Mano a Mano for The Borgen Project.

Morgan Harden is a recent graduate of Kenyon College. Drawn to its story and collaborative model, she began volunteering remotely for Mano a Mano after her graduation. This work eventually led her all the way to the organization’s epicenter in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Morgan volunteered with us for a month in November 2017, and she returned to Cochabamba in early 208 to spend a few more weeks with us, before heading to Argentina to begin her Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Fellowship.

Check out Morgan’s articles that she wrote while volunteering with Mano a Mano in Bolivia on our blog.
